Volatile silicons in household and cosmetic products

ABSTRACT

Cosmetic and household products containing volatile silicon compounds which provide good stability and performance are disclosed.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 168,725, filed Mar. 16, 1988, now abandoned.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Volatile silicon compounds have found wide acceptance in a number of different types of products ranging from cosmetics to antifreeze formulations. Such silicon compounds are good solvents for a variety of materials and serve to give excellent feel on skin and hair.

The most common types of volatile silicon compounds are linear and cyclic siloxanes having from one to about seven siloxane groups. While these are the most common, there are other types which have been disclosed. Included among such other silicon compounds are those in U.S. Pat. No. 4,207,424, Winnick, issued June 10, 1980 ##STR1##

Additional disclosures of volatile silicon compounds are in U.S. Pat. No. 4,355,062, Wang et al., issued Oct. 19, 1982. Certain alkyl linear siloxanes such as ##STR2## are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,376,087, Poliniak et al., issued Mar. 8, 1983. Cyclic silicones different from those mentioned above are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,364,837, Pader, issued Dec. 21, 1982. Still other volatile silicon compounds are disclosed in Japanese unexamined applications JP 9108-046, Oct. 14, 1974; JP 1102-019, Sept. 7, 1976; JP 607-824, June 15, 1981; JP 6139-527, Oct. 31, 1981; and JP 7035-526, Feb. 26, 1982.

Although the references discussed above disclose a variety of volatile silicon compounds in a variety of compositions, there is still the need for cosmetic and household products which incorporate volatile silicon compounds.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide cosmetic and household products containing silicon materials which provide improved solvency and compatibility with other composition components.

This and other objectives will become readily available from the detailed disclosure below.

Deodorant/Antiperspirant Carrier

The selection of carriers for use with the volatile silicon compounds of the present invention is readily made by one skilled in the art based on the form of the composition being prepared, for example, aerosol spray, roll-on lotion, or stick. Antiperspirant carriers are described in detail in European Patent Application No. 28,853, Beckmeyer et al., published May 20, 1981, and European Patent Application Publication No. 117,070, May, published Aug. 29, 1984, the disclosures of both these patent specifications being incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Carrier materials suitable for use for various composition forms are also described in detail as follows:

(i) Stick Antiperspirant Carriers

Such materials include fatty acid and fatty alcohol esters, waterinsoluble ethers and alcohols, polyorganosiloxanes, and mixtures thereof. Emollients among those useful herein are described in 1 Cosmetics, Science and Technology 27-104 (M. Balsam and E. Sagarin ed. 1972), and U.S. Pat. No. 4,202,879, Shelton, issued May 13, 1980 (both incorporated by reference herein).

The present compositions in stick form preferably contain a non-volatile silicone oil as an emollient material. Such silicone oils include polyalkysiloxanes, polyalkyarylsiloxanes, and polyethersiloxane copolymers. the essentially non-volatile polyalkyl siloxanes useful herein include, for example, polydimethyl siloxanes with viscosities of from about 5 to about 100,000 centistokes at 25° C. Among the preferred non-volatile emollients useful in the present compositions are the polydimethyl siloxanes having viscosities from about 10 to about 400 centistokes at 25° C.
